Private Pilot Licence Overview
Whether you’re looking to learn to fly for your own pleasure and enjoyment, or you’re looking to take the first step onto the journey of becoming a fully qualified commercial pilot the Private Pilot Licence is where you need to start your pilot training journey.
Our Private Pilot Licence (PPL) Training Course is designed to meet all the requirements for you to sit your theory exams and practical skill test to become fully rated to fly Single Engine Piston aircraft. You will then be able to add further ratings to your license such as Night, Multi-Engine, IR (R) etc as you build your experience to becoming a more competent private pilot.
As one of the leading Flight Training academies in the UK, Aeros' Private Pilot Licence (PPL) training courses are designed to allow you to pass your tests with the minimum amount of fuss.
We work with you at every stage of your learning journey. From helping you gain your Medical Clearance from a CAA approved Aero-medical examiner, to working with our team of specialist flight trainers who will take you into the air to get the minimum required 45 hours of flying time during which you will head up for at least 10 hours’ worth of solo flying to get you used to flying without an instructor in the aircraft.
During your flight training you will need to sit down and take 9 theory examinations covering all the major topics needed to properly understand the theory behind flying an aeroplane. These topics include:
-
Aviation Law
-
Human Performance
-
Meteorology
-
Communications
-
Principles of Flight
-
Operational Procedures
-
Flight Performance & Planning
-
Aircraft General Knowledge
-
Navigation
As part of your PPL Training, we will ensure that you score well above the 75% target to pass all of your theory tests, so that you can take to the skies on your own, with the knowledge required to fly safely.

Who can get a Private Pilot Licence (PPL)?
Anyone can get a Private Pilot Licence (PPL).
All you need to do is make sure that you’re healthy enough to fly by getting a Class 2 (Private Pilot) medical Certificate from a CAA authorised Medical Examiner.
If you want to find a CAA Authorised examiner then get in touch with us and we’d be happy to help you arrange a medical check, or you can find your local CAA Medical Examiner here.
What can you fly?
Once you’ve acquired your PPL Licence you’ll be qualified to fly Single Engine Piston ( SEP) Aircraft.
SEP’s are some of the most common aircrafts flown by private individuals, and will give you the freedom to take to the skies!
If you’re looking to be qualified in other forms of aircraft, or to expound the type of conditions you’re allow to fly in you may want to look at acquiring your Night Rating, or your Multi Engine Piston ratings.
If you’re looking to be able to fly in other countries, the PPL is accepted as a valid licence across the EU and the UK, and can easily be converted into licence in other countries such as the USA.
